  • You Were Starting to Sound Like My Ex-Wife

    Tom finally decided to tie the knot with his longtime girlfriend.

    One evening, after the honeymoon, he was welding some stuff in the garage just for fun. His new wife was standing there at the bench watching him.

    After a long period of silence she finally spoke, “Honey, I’ve just been thinking, now that we are married maybe it’s time you quit spending all your time out here in the shop. You probably should just consider selling all your welders along with your gun collection, golf clubs, and that stupid vintage Harley.”

    Tom got a horrified look on his face.

    She said, “Darling, what’s wrong?”

    He replied, “There for a minute you were starting to sound like my ex-wife.”

    “Ex-wife!” she screamed, “YOU NEVER TOLD ME YOU WERE MARRIED BEFORE!”

    Tom replied, “I wasn’t.”

  • Id Like to Be Eight Again

    A man was sitting on the side of the bed watching his wife, who was looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off, he asked her what she would like as a gift.

    “I’d like to be eight again,” she said, still looking in the mirror.

    On the morning of her birthday, he rose early, made her a bowl of Frosted Flakes, and then took her to Adventure World theme park. What a day! He put her on every ride in the park… the death slide, the wall of fear, the screaming roller coaster… just to name a few.

    Five hours later, they staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling, and her stomach felt upside down. He then took her to McDonald’s where he ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a chocolate milkshake.

    Then it was off to a movie with popcorn, a soda pop, and her favorite candy, M&M’s! What a fabulous adventure!

    Finally, she wobbled home with her husband and fell into bed, exhausted.

    He leaned over his wife with a big smile, “What was it like to be eight again?”

    She opened her eyes, and her expression suddenly changed.

    “I meant my dress size, you idiot!”

    Moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he’s going to get it wrong.

  • The Siberian Coal Miner and the Wheelbarrow

    Back in Soviet Russia there was a man working in a Siberian coal mine.

    Every Friday he would take a wheelbarrow full of dirt home and the security guard would stop him, make him dump out the dirt and sift through it searching for coal or other stolen valuables.

    The security guard never found anything so he’d let the man reload the dirt and go home.

    This went on for 25 years until the man was finally allowed to retire.

    On his last day the security guard said, “I know you’ve been smuggling something out of here all of these years. Please, just tell me what it was.”

    The man replied with a sly wink, “Wheelbarrows.”

  • Suffering From Complete Sexual Exhaustion

    A smart-assed teenager at the back of the room raised his hand and asked, “What would happen if I came in tomorrow suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?”

    The entire class was reduced to laughter and sniggering.

    When silence was restored, the teacher smiled at the student, shook her head and sweetly said, “Well, I would expect you to write the exam with your other hand.”

  • Put Me Down for a Five

    Police have been called to an apartment, and upon arrival find a woman holding a bloody 3-iron standing over a lifeless man.

    The detective asks, “Ma’am, is that your husband?”

    “Yes,” says the woman.

    “Did you hit him with that golf club?”

    “Yes, yes, I did.”

    The woman begins to sob, drops the club, and puts her hands on her face.

    “How many times did you hit him?”

    “I don’t know — put me down for a five.”

  • They Just Call It Tuesday

    My grandfather said he’d never move into a retirement home.
    He said, “Too expensive… and the food tastes like someone boiled sadness.”

    Instead, he checked into a beachfront hotel.
    We asked, “Grandpa, isn’t that even more expensive?”

    He smiled and said, “Not really.
    At the retirement home, I’d pay $200 a day for cold meatloaf and no visitors.
    But here? For $150 a day, I get ocean views, room service, fresh towels, a pool…
    …and suddenly all my grandkids remember I exist every weekend.”

    Then he leaned back in his chair and delivered the final line like a mob boss:
    “And if I die in the hotel lobby, the manager will actually look disappointed.
    But at the nursing home? They just call it Tuesday.”

  • When My Dad Asked for the Vaseline

    A salesman rings the doorbell and Johnny answers.

    Salesman: “Can I see your dad?”

    Johnny: “No, he’s in the shower.”

    Salesman: “What about your mother? Can I see her?”

    Johnny: “Nope. She’s in the shower too.”

    Salesman: “Do you think they’ll be out soon?”

    Johnny: “Doubt it. When my dad asked me for the Vaseline, I gave him superglue instead.”

  • She Got in the Back Seat by Mistake

    An elderly Floridian calls 911 to report that her car has been broken into.

    She is hysterical as she explains the situation to the dispatcher:

    “They’ve stolen the stereo, the steering wheel, the brake pedal, and even the accelerator!”

    “Stay calm,” says the dispatcher. “An officer is on the way.”

    A few minutes later, the officer radios in:

    “Disregard. She got in the back seat by mistake.”

  • Thatll Put an End to That Nonsense

    Two guys in their mid-twenties are sitting at a bar having a beer.

    One of the guys remarks to the other, “Boy, you look really tired!” His friend replies, “Dude, I’m exhausted. My girlfriend wants sex all the time – three, four, sometimes even six times a night! She wakes me up at all hours. I just don’t know what to do!”

    A fellow in his seventies is sitting a few bar stools down from them and overhears their conversation. He looks over at the two men and, showing the wisdom of his age, says, “Marry her. That’ll put an end to that nonsense!”

  • Irish Viagra

    An Irish woman of a certain age went to see her doctor and asked if there was anything he could prescribe to help revive her husband’s love life.

    “Have you tried Viagra?” the doctor asked.

    “Not a hope,” she replied. “The man won’t even take a paracetamol.”

    “No problem,” said the doctor. “Try what we call ‘Irish Viagra.’ Slip a tablet into his coffee. He’ll never notice it. Give it a go and ring me next week to let me know how you get on.”

    Well, she didn’t even last the week before calling him back.

    “Doctor!” she cried. “Faith and begorrah, it was awful! Absolutely terrible!”

    “Really?” the doctor asked. “What happened?”

    “Well, I did exactly what you said and dropped the tablet into his coffee. The effect was nearly instant. He leapt to his feet with a wild sparkle in his eye and his trousers bulging like a circus tent!”

    The doctor said, “Good heavens.”

    “Before I knew it, he swept the cups clean off the table, tore me clothes clean off me back, and took me there and then, right on the tabletop!”

    “So why was it so terrible?” asked the doctor. “Was the sex not good?”

    “Good?” she shouted. “It was the best sex I’ve had in twenty-five years!” She paused dramatically.

    “But I’ll never be able to show me face in Starbucks again!”
